The story of the black silk female knight

Himika smiled and said:

"The Fire-Burning Halberd does resemble the inherited treasures here in terms of performance, but the cultivation methods of the Tianxuan Continent are ultimately different from those here, and the weapon-refining techniques are also different... What is a treasure like this should be called a magic weapon over there."

While powerful magical artifacts require establishing a mental connection before they can fully unleash their power, they are not as rigidly bound by bloodlines as inherited treasures... In the Eastern Continent, many cultivation sects do not pass down their skills through bloodlines, but rather through master-disciple relationships.

Therefore, many magical treasures in the Eastern Continent can be used normally after their original owners die, as long as they are reforged to remove the original owner's aura... This is also the most common cause of conflict among cultivators in the Eastern Continent: killing for treasure.

"Murder and robbery..."

Valensa, who had wanted to complain about this for a long time, finally found the opportunity and said with undisguised disdain, looking at him like he was looking at trash:

"Isn't this just robbery? What's the difference between the law of the jungle and wild beasts? Those cultivators are really regressing in civilization the more they cultivate."

Himika remained silent.

Valensa promptly changed the subject and continued talking about the Flame Spear:

"Even after being reforged, shouldn't such sect-specific magic weapons be used in conjunction with sect techniques to unleash their maximum power?"

"Theoretically, that's correct, but there are exceptions."

Himika continued talking about the Flame Spear as if nothing had happened:

"The true essence condensed by our Holy Sect Yang Sect's cultivation method is very similar in nature to the Yang Flame Divine Power of your Holy Clerics... Didn't you forcibly drive the Sunfire Burning Love Halberd with the Yang Flame Divine Power? This was even with the original owner's mental imprint still inside the Sunfire Burning Love Halberd."

After I reforge the Sunfire Burning Halberd, it will be even easier for you to use the Yang Flame Divine Power to drive it. Even if you can't unleash its full power, you can still unleash about 80% of it.

After that, as long as you fight alongside it frequently and bring it with you during your daily prayers, it will eventually transform into the form of the Yang Flame Divine Power, completely changing from a Yang Sect magical artifact into your own Noble Phantasm.

"Understood, let's do it that way."

Valensa agreed.

Afterwards, Himika had Chiba Shin send a lot of materials needed for weapon forging from the Four Islands Alliance. That same day, she went into seclusion to help Valensa reforge the Flame Halberd, completing the task in four days.

The reforged Flame Halberd no longer resisted Valensa's use and could unleash most of its power with the blessing of the Sunfire Divine Power.

In terms of compatibility, the Flame Spear is definitely not as good as the Noble Phantasms that truly belong to Valensa, such as Rikka and Nana, and it is also slightly inferior to the Moon Kiss whose power originates from Dreigan, but it is still much stronger than other enchanted weapons.

Moreover, the affinity of Flame Spear can grow. As it fights alongside Valensa and prays for divine grace, its affinity will eventually surpass Moon Kiss, becoming Valensa's true third Noble Phantasm.

In order to bring this day to an early date, Valensa began to train seriously again after obtaining the reforged Flame Spear, spending her time either praying or fighting powerful Radiant-rank monsters.

Valensa usually treats those Radiant-rank monster lords who are relatively friendly to humans as playful sparring partners. After the fight, she will personally cook them delicious food and pet them along the way.

Valensa shows no mercy to those Radiant-rank monsters who often prey on humans; she basically chases them down and beats them to death, turning them into delicacies on the human table.

More than three months passed in the blink of an eye. The construction and training of the coalition forces were on track, and Valensa's training was also very fruitful.

The synergy between Flame Spear and her has already surpassed that of Moon Kiss, and it will soon become her Noble Phantasm completely.

Moreover, Valensa had a vague premonition... that the moment the Flame Spear became her third Noble Phantasm, she would be able to officially advance and become a true Moon-level powerhouse.

Just then, messages came from Wei and Asakura Mai one after another: the game featuring Qingyi as the protagonist had been completed and was now online.

Valensa then relaxed her tight training schedule a bit, continuing to help Tia with some allied affairs while also keeping a close eye on the game situation in both worlds.

Wei's approach was simple and brutal: a massive, all-encompassing publicity campaign, using money to ensure that advertisements for the new game could be seen in almost every corner of the world.

The game's all-star development team, top-notch graphics, gameplay, and storyline, along with incredibly generous launch rewards that left many players in awe, have attracted a large number of players to join the game. Even many people who have never played games before want to give it a try.

There are many charming characters in the game, but the Qingyi character, which the development team focused on developing, is definitely the most charming character in the game, without exception.

Within three days of the server opening, Qingyi became the most popular character on various official and unofficial leaderboards, with scores far ahead of the others.

Compared to the smooth sailing of everything on Wei's side, Asakura Mai's side was slightly inferior, after all, the resources she could mobilize were incomparable to Wei's.

Fortunately, Japan is the birthplace of anime-style games and has the capability. With the strong support of investors who spared no expense or profit, the game's quality was high, and the game characters quickly captured the hearts of players.

While Qingyi's status in the Asakura Mai world isn't quite on track to become a national idol like in the Vi's world, she has at least given the vast majority of anime fans a new waifu.

In short, Wei and Asakura Mai accomplished both the goal of launching the game and gaining popularity for Qingyi in about four months.

The next step is to find a way to transform the players' love for the game characters into faith power that can help Qingyi quickly recover her strength.

The quickest and most efficient way to absorb the power of faith is, of course, to have believers pray devoutly to the idol.

However, the world that Wei and Asakura Mai live in is a technological civilization, and most people are atheists who only believe in science, so it is difficult for them to sincerely pray to the idols.

Furthermore, the act of turning game characters into idols and praying to them can easily be considered a cult.

So this step is a bit difficult, but it's not impossible.

Three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang; three transmigrators who are very accomplished in their respective worlds can naturally come up with even better solutions.

If someone prays to a strange idol at home, it can easily be mistaken for a cult.

But what if you're just praying to a beautiful girl figure?

At worst, people will just laugh at you for being into anime/manga.

As a result, all sorts of Qingyi (a type of female role model) figurines with divine functions were produced and were snapped up by gamers who liked Qingyi.

Neither Wei nor Asakura Mai were in a hurry. Following the plan the three of them had discussed, they patiently waited for more than a month after the figures were released before they started making their own.

It started with some well-known streamers or content creators in the gaming field, gradually spread to streamers in food, dance, and other related channels, and finally spread to all internet celebrities.

Initially, it was just a few well-known game streamers praying in front of all their viewers while playing a gacha game, hoping they could get the Qingyi figure.

And then they actually got their desired items... Some people finished the battle with a single 10-pull, while others got a miracle with a single pull.

At first, the audience and players didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just some kind of prank or hype, and at most they would mention it a few times when chatting with friends on social media.

However, some players who also had the Qingyi figure at home gradually discovered that praying to the Qingyi figure before drawing cards seemed to be effective.

It's impossible to get all the characters in a 10-pull or single pull, but overall luck has improved significantly, completely eliminating the pity system, and the cost of getting each new limited character has been reduced by at least half.

When faced with this situation, the players certainly wouldn't remain silent. Instead, they posted their gacha results on chat groups and social media platforms, exclaiming, "My wife in blue is really amazing!" to attract more players to try it out.

In just a few days, the phrase "worship Qingyi wife, and you're guaranteed to get good items when you draw cards" became a huge hit in the gaming community. It even made many players who didn't play the game Qingyi want to buy Qingyi figurines, leading to a shortage of Qingyi figurines on the market, and making a fortune by reselling them.

After the act of worshipping Qingyi figurines became a huge hit, many people naturally tried it in other areas, and popular streamers on various channels quickly followed suit.

To everyone's surprise, the rumor seemed to be true; the Qingyi figurine appeared to possess some kind of mysterious power and was remarkably effective.

Of course, outrageous wishes like getting rich or achieving immortality will never come true no matter how sincerely you pray, but the effects on some small things are particularly noticeable.

It mainly comes down to luck.

When buying drinks, you can usually get a "buy one get one free" offer after buying two or three bottles.

While winning big prizes in lotteries remains a pipe dream, you can get a ton of small gifts, and in most cases, you can break even or even make a small profit.

After a student slacked off on their homework, they would sincerely pray to a figurine of a woman in blue, and the teacher would indeed not check the homework the next day.

Before the exam, if you sincerely pray to the Qingyi figurine, you can almost always guess all the multiple-choice questions correctly, and even the test scores of poor students will improve significantly, leaving many teachers dumbfounded.

Others pray that they won't encounter red lights while driving to work, that they'll catch more fish while fishing, that their clients won't ask for changes to their plans, or even that their affair with their mistress won't be discovered by their spouse. All of these prayers have led to a noticeable improvement in their luck to some extent.

And so, the various rumors about the Qingyi figurine became more and more fantastical.

After truly experiencing the benefits, even those atheists raised in a technologically advanced society can sincerely pray for the Qingyi figurines, and it has even become a trend.

A large amount of faith power was continuously absorbed by Qingyi, and about half a year after the game was launched, Qingyi's power recovered to a level sufficient to solve the problem of the Fog Demon.

All Valensa and her team did was cast a spell of good luck on each of the blue-clad figurines.

This is why those believers in blue robes think that the blue robe figurines are very effective... They do have some luck boosted for a short time under the magical effect, but it's only a slight boost.

This level of good luck spell isn't considered high-level magic; a Pearl-level mage could easily cast hundreds of them every day.

With Valencia's current reputation and status, she could easily get hundreds of magic apprentices to work for her without even spending any money to ask the Sage's Tower for help.

Having found a solution and met the conditions for solving the problem, the next step is, of course, to implement the plan and resolve the issue.

The last of the three calamities on the continent of Frenoia should also disappear.

However, when they actually started implementing the plan, Valensa and her team discovered another problem that they had to find a way to solve.

Now, as long as Qingyi can access the Fog Demons' base, she can infiltrate the Fog Demons' network, rewrite their consciousness, and turn them from enemies into allies.

The problem is, how do we get Qingyi into the Fog Demon's base?

By deliberately letting that high-level Mist Demon core escape last time, Friggia has pinpointed the exact location of the Mist Demon base. It is deep in the ocean, far from any land, at a depth of at least several thousand meters.

With the means Valensa currently has, it is absolutely impossible to directly hack into such a deep-sea base via the network, even if Qingyi recovers a lot of power.

Valensa's initial idea was to do what's often seen in science fiction movies: put a part of Qingyi into a portable data disk, have her carry it into the Fog Demon's base, find a data interface, plug the data disk in, and complete the intrusion.

With Qingyi's current abilities, if she could truly connect directly via a mobile data disk, she could indeed complete the intrusion as planned.

However, in countless simulations, Valensa's attempt to secretly infiltrate the Fog Demon base and find an opportunity to insert the data disk into the Fog Demon base's server proved extremely difficult, almost impossible.

First of all, for the Fog Demon, which can assimilate water molecules with nano-mist, water is their home ground with an absolute advantage.

There must be a large amount of nano-mist in the seawater near the Fog Demon base. This nano-mist, which is almost identical to water molecules, is indistinguishable in water, yet it can serve as the eyes of advanced Fog Demons to perceive everything.

No matter the disguise of magic, divine arts, or ninjutsu, it can never fool this nano-mist. The same goes for the reduced presence of mental power... As long as Valensa gets close to the Mist Demon's base, she will almost certainly be discovered by the Mist Demon. The probability of her not being discovered is less than one in ten million.

In the deep sea, thousands of meters below the surface, humans are absolutely no match for advanced fog demons; those who manage to flee back in terror are considered top-tier powerhouses.

Secondly, even if Valensa were incredibly lucky and managed to infiltrate the Fog Demon base without being discovered by the Fog Demons, the operation would still be very difficult to succeed.

Because data interfaces are such important, they certainly won't be everywhere. In some places, there will inevitably be high-level fog demons guarding them, so they will still be discovered eventually.

Even if Valensa could quickly defeat the high-level fog demons by using a sneak attack, those high-level fog demons are not fools.

If a powerful enemy sneaks into your own base and inserts a data disk into the server, anyone who isn't an idiot should be able to guess the enemy's purpose.

The higher-level fog demons would be alerted to the invasion of the blue-clad figures in advance. Even if they could not prevent the main system of the base from falling, they could immediately disconnect themselves from the main base to ensure that they would not be invaded, thus ruining Valensa and the others' plans.

In short, even if all luck factors are taken into account for the best possible outcome, the success rate of this action plan is less than 10%.

This really worried Valensa.

It's like a beautiful girl is already lying on the bed, striking a seductive pose for you to take, but suddenly a combination lock appears on her clothes.

She also shared this with her two time-traveling friends, asking Wei and Asakura Mai to brainstorm and help come up with a solution.

But this time, the three mediocre minds couldn't replace Zhuge Liang, and the methods that Wei and Asakura Mai came up with were all rejected after deduction.

Finally, Valensa, having no other choice, decided to give it a try and approached Tia, who had just finished a day as the commander of the Allied Forces, to ask for her support.

"Hmm...isn't this problem quite simple?"

While enjoying Valensa's massage, Tia listened to Valensa's explanation of the situation, then quickly squinted her eyes and let out a soft hum:

"The answer is clearly in the stories you told me, and didn't we use that method last year when we were fighting the wild beasts? How could you not think of it? You're such an idiot!"

"No, I'm not stupid, it's just that you're too smart, my darling Tia!"

Valensa quickly kissed Tia, and her hands, which were massaging Tia, applied a little more pressure, using a very professional massage technique, making Tia moan softly.

"So... what is the solution, darling?"

"It's simple... just keep using that Trojan horse tactic, right?"

Tia squinted her eyes, looking completely blissful.

"According to Sister Friggia, the Mist Demons' current development path is completely wrong. They should be pursuing a technology-driven path... So if they discover data on advanced technological weapons, they certainly won't be able to refuse it, right?"

"Trojan horse tactics?"

Valensa paused, frowning as she pondered seriously:

"Baby, you want to mix Qingyi's data into the technology weapon data, and then pretend that it was accidentally stolen by the Mist Demons? Hmm... it sounds feasible, but Qingyi's data and the data in the weapon data are very different. The Mist Demons aren't stupid, they will definitely verify the data first, and it will probably be difficult to infect the entire Mist Demon network, at most infecting a few high-level Mist Demons... but that will inevitably arouse the vigilance of other Mist Demons."

"So you're just an idiot... Waaah~~"

Tia rolled her eyes at Valensa again, but was immediately rendered speechless by Valensa's exquisite massage techniques, her mouth agape. After several seconds, she continued:

"Even if we were to use Trojan horse tactics, why would we directly send weapon data to the enemy? High-level fog demons aren't fools; they should understand that most freebies are poisoned, so they would naturally be careful to verify those weapon data."

"Then what do you think we should do, darling?"

Tia's tone clearly indicated that she already had a solution, so Valensa was too lazy to think of anything herself and continued to massage Tia's body in a very ingratiating way, occasionally stealing a kiss.

"Hmph~~"

Tia made a sound like a cat being petted, her eyes half-closed, her expression one of complete relaxation and enjoyment.

"It's actually quite simple... Remember when we first went to America? We encountered a high-level mist demon hiding in America's upper echelons of society, right? Do you think we, Fran, wouldn't have high-level mist demons lurking within human society like that?"

"...Baby, you mean to use the high-level fog demons lurking in Fran?"

Valensa thought for a moment, following Tia's train of thought, and said:
